Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Baby constipation from drinking formula milk may be due to the following reasons:
1. Improper diet: The baby may consume too much formula, the quality of the formula may be poor, or the baby may not drink enough water—all of which can lead to constipation.
2. Imbalance of intestinal flora: The baby's gut microbiota may be disrupted by viruses, bacteria, medications, or other factors, leading to an imbalance that causes constipation.
3. Indigestion: Digestive problems in babies can alter stool consistency and contribute to constipation.
